In my laboratory, we work on improvement of conventional motors’ performance, and development of novel motors with high efficiency. And the development of control method of their motors is also one of our research themes. It is said that more than 100 years has passed since the birth of the motor. However, the motor technology still supports people’s lives in modern society.

Laboratory Character

We have developed the motors for electric cars (Hybrid EV, Pure-EV) and some linear motors, and have proposed various novel ideas, such as application of vernier configuration to a traction motor for EV and to a linear motor and proposal of an integrated configuration of a radial flux rotor and dual axial flux rotor. My students have made a presentation on the research results at international academic conferences.

Electric cars (automobiles, railcars and so on) are driven by some electric motor. Various motors are used in familiar goods, such as cellular phone, wrist watch and home electric appliances. People receives many benefits from the motor technology.
